About Chana sandesh

Chana Sandesh is a delectable Bengali dessert made from chana (paneer or cottage cheese) and sugar, often flavored with cardamom or saffron and garnished with nuts. Originating from Indian cuisine, it is celebrated for its soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweet aroma. Packed with protein from the chana, Chana Sandesh offers some nutritional benefits, supporting muscle health and energy. Its modest fat content comes mainly from the paneer, while the sweetness comes from added sugar, making it a food to enjoy in moderation. This treat is often made with minimal ingredients, ensuring a wholesome experience compared to heavily processed desserts. While not the healthiest option due to its sugar content, Chana Sandesh is a lighter indulgence for those seeking a balanced dessert inspired by traditional recipes.
